Research Project: Magnetic Water Treatment for Agriculture – Validated by Bhopal Agriculture Research Center
Project Title:
Effectiveness of Ethix Water Conditioner in Agriculture – ICAR-CIAE Bhopal Research
Conducted by:
ICAR – Central Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India
Research Duration:
March 2021 – August 2021
Objective:
To evaluate the effect of magnetic water treatment (similar in principle to Ethix Water Conditioner technology) on plant growth, yield, and soil parameters, using radish as a test crop.
Technology Tested:
Three-stage water treatment process — Electrolysis, De-ionization, and Magnetization (used in Ethix Water Conditioner systems)
Key Findings:
-
Leaf Length improved significantly under magnetized bore water (22.7 cm vs 20.5 cm)
-
Leaf Area Index (LAI) was highest with magnetized bore water (6.2 vs 5.9)
-
Fresh Weight of Radish Root reached 66.2g/plant with treated water vs 60.9g under control
-
Overall Yield increased from 43.9 t/ha to 48.5 t/ha using magnetically treated irrigation water
Conclusion:
The study confirms that magnetically treated water (equivalent to the technology used in Ethix Water Conditioner) enhances:
-
Plant growth parameters (leaf length, LAI)
-
Crop yield
-
Nutrient absorption and biological activity in soil
This validates the use of Ethix Water Conditioner for agricultural applications—especially in areas with saline or hard water—making it a green and efficient solution for boosting farm productivity.
Application Area:
-
Crop irrigation systems
-
Organic farming setups
-
Research farms
-
Government agriculture projects
Acknowledgment:
The research was conducted independently and funded by ICAR-CIAE, Bhopal.
